Wearing Valentino
Glenn was like, "They told me I was going, then they told me I would wear Valentino!" That worked out okay for her. All this pink is getting samey, but she got a good one.

... No. This is not it. At all.

Oh, lordy, it's pink AND it has the boob-grab effect where it looks like it's mauling her in order to stay up. AND it's sheer. This is not a good fondue. (Parenthetically, food for thought: When you describe marriage as "one long playdate," are you actually ready to BE married?)

At least that's a DIFFERENT pink. She very cheerfully said she was extremely greased-up in order to get into all that latex. This is totally irrelevant to the event, but it's lively.

She is so gorgeous -- that Penelope Featherington wig is not her friend (which is probably partly the point). I quite like this. It's connected but not costumey.

This is... fine... but... I don't know. It makes me sad. I bet it looks more special in person, but -- and maybe it's the context -- there's something so plain about it here.

She called him Zaddy Warbucks on her Instagram. THAT is a fun Chanel on her. It's a party. It's maybe the most lighthearted Chanel I've seen in a while.

This seems like it's doing the least.

This is another one where... I don't like the dress, particularly, but the whole look works on her (even if it's not particularly thematic). The tumbling curls are what I like to pretend my hair is doing whenever I can't see myself.

Wearing Chloe
She seemed druuuunk during her red carpet interview, and I could swear she called this Gabriela Hearst. Everyone else has it as Chloe. (EDITED: Apparently GH is running Chloe now! SORRY AMY. Although she still seemed out of it.) She looks like she's preparing early for a hangover and maybe also like she's feeling the Blues Brothers, none of which is apt. Well, no, the hangovers were probably fairly prevalent back then.

Wearing Saint Laurent
She said this is inspired by a 2002 YSL worn by Jerry Hall on the runway. I quite like it? Nobody seemed to have a handle on this thing, so at least it has a vintage glam feel.

And she worked it. The woman had a stroke not that long ago! And heart surgery! Full marks, honestly.
